40 Kong<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Say ‘rooftop bar’ to someone in Dubai and chances are,
\nthey’ll come back at you with 40 Kong<\/a>. Located at the top (surprise, surprise)
\nof The H Hotel down near the Trade Centre, this bar and casual dining spot
\noffers breathtaking views of the downtown cityscape, including the Burj Khalifa
\nmoneyshot. The crowd is cool, the vibe is chilled and drinks start from AED 53
\nfor a glass of grape, which isn’t too bad for Dubai.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Pure Sky Lounge<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

Straddling the original part of JBR, The Walk, the Pure SkyLounge<\/a> is the perfect place to watch the sun set with friends. It not only
\noffers a slick, al fresco bar area, but the sea views are pretty stunning \u2013 you
\nknow, if you’re into that idyllic kind of thing. With mixed drinks from AED 60,
\nyou’re not paying over-the-odds for the location, either, which is rare. (Also, check out The 10 Best Lounge Bars in Dubai<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Level 43<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

\nSitting atop of the Four Points by Sheraton, again down near
\nthe Trade Centre, is the practically named Level 43<\/a>. Which sits on, you guessed
\nit, the 43rd floor of the hotel. Known to attract a cool, stylish
\nand cosmopolitan crowd, this place isn’t as laid back as others, but it’s
\ndefinitely worth slipping into a pair of heels for a visit; but not you gents,
\na shirt will be fine, thanks. With glasses of grape from just AED 45, you can
\nafford to make a bit of a night of it, too.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\nStory Rooftop Bar<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

For those perennially on the hunt for some low-key, hipster
\nvibes \u2013 Story Rooftop Bar<\/a> in Media City is where the search can end. With
\nbottles of hops from AED 40, the prices are a bit more relaxed than other places
\nin Dubai, too. This venue has a cool, laid-back feel, and often gets some good
\nhip hop nights happening, which as we all know, is the best thing to dance to
\nonce a few drinks turns into a very late night. Check it out for yourself.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Pacha<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

\nThere are rooftops for chilling out on, and then there are
\nrooftops to go wild on, this is the latter. Pacha Dubai<\/a> is one of the swankiest
\nplaces to party in Dubai, so their outdoor area is one of the places to see and
\nbe seen. Prince didn’t play this venue for nothing, you know. Don your best
\nthreads and prepare to take in staggering views of the Burj Al Arab and picture
\nperfect Madinat Jumeirah buildings around you. This place is great for visitors,
\nbut not exactly cheap \u2013 many patrons opt for bottle service so it might be
\nworth saving up a bit before you head down. (Take a look at The 7 best post-brunch Happy Hours in Dubai on a Friday<\/a>)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Tamanya Terrace<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

\nSomething of a local for the tired, and poor journalists
\nthat frequent media city, Tamanya Terrace<\/a> in the Radisson Blu is heaving on a
\nThursday night. With prices for a glass of malt starting at AED 38, you can see
\nwhy. It is a pocket-friendly, and surprisingly pretty, hidden gem, which offers
\nbrilliant views of the marina from the outside. The crowd are relaxed and thirsty
\n\u2013 if you get our drift \u2013 but it’s the ideal place to see off a tough week.
\nGlasses of grape also start at AED 42, if you don’t fancy hitting the hard
\nstuff. Friday nights is host to the ‘Night Vibes<\/a>‘ series for the more eclectic crowd…think the best of music with the best of people.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
